My little green guy is a prototype, and for some reason he's looking a little bigger to me than maybe he should.... Thank you in advance!

Thanks! I need to do some myself. Any tips on matting fur? I did mine in hot water, washed it out and let it air dry. But it seemed like the more I handled it in some spots it began to smooth out again?

I have a multi-temp glue gun and keep it on low, should I still be waiting the 20 seconds before applying the fabric?

Wow, excellent! And how fun it is to watch the evolution of a character after all these years.......... :)

So that explains why sometimes Elmo or Kermit's eyes appear to be more ivory and glassy than white during interviews? I always thought it was maybe they just had a personal puppet they take with them......

Excellent job, Bud!

Best thing to do is to pick up your materials first, then go back over the information. I think it will make better sense once everything is in front of you :)

Correct, take the backing off and glue the front with the pupil inside to the eyeball.

The pupil will move in the plastic casing that is glued to the ball, as long as there is enough space. Just a small black screw, you can judge it yourself by the size of the eye you end up using.

Although very unlikely, I would never say never. When I got my Kermit it came with a few instructions, one of which I remember was to try and never bend at the same point consistantly or quickly..... But that being said, this is really what they were made for, posing!

I grabbed a pair of the large flat google eyes from Joanns, there's one of two ways you can do this. For Cookie, they use a small black screw that the pupil spins on OR what you could also do is take the backing off the google eye and glue the clear plastic piece (with the pupil inside) to the...

Love it! I've always wondered where you find the round eyes like that, are they painted white or come that way? Thanks!

You really think melonhead pattern would do it? I always thought they were more of a sock puppet pattern - though extremely stuffed!

I noticed on the melon head pattern (and maybe the sock puppet as well) they actually sew the mouth fabric to the fabric head before turning rightside out and adding the inner skull. This was also used in a YouTube video series about building a Kermit. I have always glued the felt to the...

I wish I could get my sewing machine to work! What is a back-stitch?

Closer than you think, I'm in the Brockton/Abington area. Just learning myself, so not sure how much help I would be :)

I think it's the blizzard fleece that I bought? A little fuzzier and hid seams very well when they were picked at. You're actually in my area, there is one in Hanover right off the highway, or further down 24 in Taunton. Right on 44.......... Hope that helps

Wow, I so wish MC had a "like" button! Well said!

I found this on eBay, not too bad at all.......... 250783527291

What would you suggest, about a 1/8 of an inch in and sew at the line?
